Fresh and Exciting

Absolutely Brilliant!

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Steve and Rob are both well known comedians and actors who have been friends for over 11 years and have worked together on several projects. The Trip has them taking on a small, filler job, touring the north of England to write a few restaurant reviews. The movie is about their friendship and how hard it often is for male friends to move beyond the superficial and amusing and to let their guard down with each other long enough to be real and thereby, vulnerable. Steve is in denial about his aging, his relationships with women, and about the scope of his career. He is a man whose ego is fragile and he goes to great lengths to protect it. Rob is much more comfortable and philosophical about his own life. Contented and happy, he sees no need to compete with Steve, and so a true friendship is able to blossom. It's brilliant!

There is much to like about this unique little film - witty often improvised dialog, unbelievably beautiful landscapes of rural northern England, the food (THE FOOD!). The 2 main characters are on a road trip assignment to review various high-end restaurants. The movie captures these dining experiences and the shared time between these 2 long-time friends. The leads are very engaging although at times the underlying competitiveness of their relationship is a little off-putting and repetitive, but probably an accurate portrayal of such characters.Originally a British TV series, the film is an condensed version of one season, and the result (for time purposes) feels a little short-changed in the development of the characters. However, the overall fun in watching the movie makes this flaw acceptable.Be sure to watch the DVD bonus feature focusing on the food eaten throughout the movie as the bonus feature details the plating and preparation which are a little hurried during the main feature.A recently released film documenting this twosome on a journey in Italy should be a worthy follow-up.For my other movie reviews, please visit: https://nomorewastedmovienights.wordpress.com

This film was utterly uninteresting. Spoiler: 2 guys bullshitting for 2 hours. God, it was just so boring....Really the guys just sit and talk in the car. then they sit and talk in a restaurant. Their banter is mostly annoying. I signed up for an account just to try to counteract the 7.1 rating here on IMDb...i usually trust the ratings and a 7 should usually be a decent film. This was just Garbage. I would put it on par with Adam Sandler's "Overboard" or Whoopi Goldberg's "The Telephone"...both movies designed to waste your time and cash in on an actor's celebrity. I want my 2 hours back. really. Yuk. Boring. Nuff said.

HILARIOUS. COME, COME MR. BOND, YOU KNOW YOU DERIVE AS MUCH PLEASURE FROM KILLING AS I DO. I do not understand why people do not find this movie to be as funny as I do. The scenes where they are doing impersonations and drinking wine made me laugh until I cried. Must have a more developed and higher-quality sense of humor to appreciate the comedy in this movie. The best scene is when they are doing their James Bond impersonations at the table. I reinact and quote that scene quite frequently even though no one ever knows what I'm doing. I do it anyway because I myself find it to be very amusing and I love making myself laugh.
